ILOVEMAKONNEN, who is a 25-year-old artist from Atlanta, recently chopped it up with Noisey for an interview, which you can read below.

During their conversation, MAKONNEN talked about how Drake jumping on his “Club Goin’ Up On A Tuesday” song came about, OVO reaching out to him, how close we are to hearing Tune on the official remix, maybe being an opening act on the “Drake vs. Lil Wayne” tour when it gets down to the south, and more.

If you have not yet heard Drizzy Drake on “Club Goin’ Up On A Tuesday“, you can check it out here. Would you like to hear Weezy F Baby spit on this track? I certainly would!

How did the remix happen?
OVO reached out to me about ten days ago and were like, “Yo, we like your music, we like that “Wrist” song.” This was OVO Brian. I don’t remember if he mentioned Drake, but he said something like, “We’re fucking with your shit. We’re going to holler at you soon.” So I was like, “Cool.” So two nights ago, everybody is blowing my phone up, people from Warner and shit, and they’re like, “Yo, send me that ‘Club Goin’ Up’ so we can get a remix—we’re trying to do a big play and do something for you.”

Who was this?
Just A&R’s at Warner Music. Trying to get them my song, and I’m like, “Nah. I got something in the works,” I said jokingly. They were like, “What do you have in the works? You don’t have anything bigger than what we’re going to get.” And I was like, “Please. I got Drake and Lil Wayne on the remix,” and they were like, “Oh! That’s what we’re trying to do.” And I was like, “Yeah, whatever.” And I was really jumping, because I was just talking shit. But then Sonny Digital called me and he was like, “Yo, Drake wants to get on the ‘Club Goin Up’ remix.” And I was like, “Whoa, fuck yeah. Send him the song. Let’s do it.” So Sonny was like, “Yeah, okay, I’ll send him the song now because he’s on the bus and wants to record it real quick.” So I was like, cool, and sent it.

Then we didn’t hear anything and I was just going about my day, just working in the studio and shit. And then I saw on Instagram he captioned something “Goin’ Up on a Tuesday” and people started tagging me. And I was like, “Oh shit, Drake, he likes the song.” And then a few hours later, somebody was like, “Oh man, this new Drake and ILOVEMAKONNEN track is so dope.” And I was like, “What? What do they mean? That would be dope if we made a track together.” And then somebody linked me to the OctobersVeryOwn SoundCloud and I was like, “No way. There’s no way this is real. No way. Who the fuck did this? They probably just put an old Drake verse on the song.” And then it was official, and I heard him start rapping and I was like, “What the fuck!”

Best Drake album?
I really liked Nothing Was the Same. I think he gets better every time. That’s an artist—I don’t even try to rub shoulders with those types of artists. I let them live out there, but it’s great he saw me and threw down. Hopefully I’ll be opening up for Lil Wayne vs. Drake on the tour once they get down to the south, definitely in Atlanta.

Do you think you’ll get Lil Wayne on this remix?
Ahh, it’s like 75 percent happening. [Laughs.] Especially with all this going on right now, it’s a whirlwind.

If you had to pick Drake or Lil Wayne, who would you pick?
Obviously Drake.

If we do its usually later like 10-12 o clock eastern or afternoon thirsday

Wayne the best at killing other niggas song man. We been through this many times. I fucking hate how quickly people forget. I mean everyone EVERYONE was on Wayne’s dick 2004-2010. He made everyone want to sip syrup get tattoos and wear vans. He is the inventor of many shit like he said. He obviously passed his prime but he is still by far better than all these wanna bes.

Tune

Good music video coming soon!
